Display, power consumption, dimensions, technologies used, connections, certifications, comfort features. All these keywords can be relevant for a purchase decision, but an exact comparison is often difficult. For this reason, we will summarize as many of the mentioned specifications as possible in an understandable form in the course of this article. Let's start with the most important component of the 4T-C48CQ1 from Sharp.
Display
According to the manufacturer, the display measures 47 inches ( 1.209 m on the diagonal). As already known, two monitors with different outer dimensions can have the same screen diagonal. In the case of the monitor 4T-C48CQ1 , we find an aspect ratio of 1.778 to 1. This means that for every 1 pixels in height, 1.778 pixels in width are added. For comparison: A classic CRT monitor had an aspect ratio of 4:3. In addition to the aspect ratios and the specified screen diagonal, the ratio between the monitor surface and the actual display could also be relevant for some enthusiasts. This ratio represents the general relationship between non-display and display. In other words: Approximately 92.6 % of the front surface of the monitor consists of the display, while the remaining percent consists of screen edges and is not suitable for image reproduction. If you want to place several monitors next to each other, you should make sure you choose models with the narrowest possible edges. The display is a OLED panel. The panel has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 px. The pixel density is 92 ppi. The pixel pitch is 0.275 mm. The built-in panel ensures stable color reproduction of the image, even at deviating viewing angles, by means of its 178 ° (horizontal) viewing angle. Sharp promises stable color reproduction moreover within a 178 ° vertical angle. Vertically, however, the image renews at a minimum rate of 100 hz up to 120 hz.
Color space
The panel has a bit depth of 10 per color channel, but what does that mean? The number of bits determines how many colors can be encoded for the individual pixels of the display. For an 8-bit panel, for example, this is 256 different colors (2^8 = 256). However, since we usually display three different colors per pixel at the same time, in theory about 16 million (256^3) different colors are possible by mixing the three pixels. A 10-bit panel could even display a billion colors.
Contrast ratio
Contrast ratio is a common measurement used to represent the maximum relative differences in brightness between black and white. It describes the ability of a screen or projector to produce a high-contrast image and is the quotient of the maximum and minimum displayable luminance. The higher the values are away from each other, the stronger the quantitatively seen difference between black and white is set up, which in turn results in an improved image quality.
HDR
The monitor supports all HDR modes listed here:
- HDR 10
- HDR HLG
- Dolby Vision
screen design
The following dimensions must be planned for a free-standing stand without attached feet/stand: 63.1 cm x 1.069 m x 5.9 cm (HxWxD)
The size of the monitor (stand included) is 68.1 x 1.069 x 25.3 m (HxWxD). The base itself has a depth of 25.3 cm. The width of the stand is 54.4 cm. If you want to place the monitor on a table or even transport it, you should expect a weight of 21 kg with the stand screwed in. A wall mount should be designed for at least 16.5 kg to hold the 4T-C48CQ1 neatly and securely.
Rotate, tilt and swivel
The monitor from Sharp cannot be rotated. The 4T-C48CQ1 can be swiveled when mounted on the included stand. Pivoting to the left is possible up to 30 degree. Pivoting to the right is possible up to 30 degree. A tilt function was not provided by Sharp with the included stand.
Ports
With the built-in 1 RJ45 Ethernet port(s) on the ' 4T-C48CQ1 ' monitor, users can establish a wired network connection. This feature provides a stable connectivity option for those who need a reliable network connection, whether for professional tasks or mission-critical applications.
camera
This monitor does not have a camera.
Loudspeaker
The monitor from Sharp has integrated speakers, for playing sounds, music or speech. The sound is emitted via 2 speakers, which are integrated into the device. Each of the built-in speakers has a contingent of 10 w power. The monitor has an integrated subwoofer. In total, the subwoofer consists of 1 driver(s). Each of the built-in drivers has a capacity of 15 w.
Features
The monitor 4T-C48CQ1 supports upscaling of the input signal up to 4k resolution. The monitor features the Amazon Prime Video app, which allows you to conveniently stream your favorite series and movies. The monitor is equipped with the YouTube app, so you can conveniently stream your favorite videos.
WiFi / Bluetooth
This model ( 4T-C48CQ1 ) supports Wi-Fi. This wireless network connection allows devices to display content from a smartphone or tablet, for example, or to download apps from an app store, similar to TVs. However, monitors usually do not have this functionality because they are only operated in connection with a notebook or PC. The protocols are supported: WiFi 802.11a WiFi 802.11ac WiFi 802.11b WiFi 802.11g WiFi 802.11n
Wi-Fi Direct is supported by 4T-C48CQ1 , which is a standard for data transfer between two WLAN devices without a central wireless access point. This functionality makes it possible, for example, to send and display pictures and videos directly to the monitor without a Wi-Fi connection to the router. The 4T-C48CQ1 supports Bluetooth.
Power consumption
The maximum power consumption (peak) specified for this monitor is 490 w. In standby mode, the device consumes approximately 1 w. The monitor can be operated on a 110v power supply. The power grid has to supply a frequency of 50 hz to 60 hz.
Environment
The monitor has a built-in ambient light sensor, which can be used, for example, to dynamically adjust the brightness of the monitor to the ambient conditions. During operation, the ambient temperature must not exceed 40 °C , to ensure full functionality. Below a temperature of 0 °C , the monitor from Sharp should again not be used. The humidity must not exceed 80 percent. At least, however, 10 percent humidity. The monitor may be stored at a maximum humidity of 85 percent. The minimum humidity during storage should not fall below 5 percent. The maximum storage temperature should be according to Sharp 60 °C. Minimal were given by Sharp -20 °C.
Packaging
The monitor is packaged in a cardboard box measuring 98.4 x 1.729 x 23.1 cm (height x width x depth).
